Yanlin Ma makes an abstract number tangible with this clever interactive piece that asks how big ten billion dollars really is. On a soft beige stage, a crisp isometric stack of hundred-dollar bills grows beside a tiny human figure for scale, complete with precise dimensional annotations and a currency selector that swaps between the euro, yen, pound and more. It is playful and precise at once — part data visualisation, part toy — inviting you to keep clicking as the tower reshapes itself. The restrained 3D rendering and tidy typographic labels make for a genuinely engaging bit of interactive design and 3D storytelling. Try it at How Big Is 10 Billion Dollars.
